    I’m a Canadian, but grew up around DC. My favourite is creamed chipped beef on biscuits, though good toast is acceptable too. Also known as SOS (shit on a shingle). I find it’s kinda a love it or hate it food, my husband likes it but my daughter doesn’t. It’s like that everywhere. Whenever I go down to the states to visit I always bring back a few jars of the beef, you can’t get it in Canada for love or money.

    Basically it’s a dried beef, made like a salami and thinly sliced. You chop that up into little squares, then make a white sauce, and add the beef once that’s thickened. You don’t need any salt as it’s quite salty already. Then a shit ton of black pepper. Serve over fresh biscuits. Mmmm. I honestly don’t want to think about the chemicals and preservatives in that beef! I figure 3 or 4 times a year it’s a nice indulgence.
